Good food, good vibes, and even better company — our adoptable dogs! FWACC is teaming up with Belenty’s Love Vegan Mexican Restaurant this November for a heartwarming Adoption Event that’s all about community, compassion, and connection.

We’re looking for volunteers to bring approved shelter dogs to the event and help them enjoy a day out meeting potential adopters. The event will feature Belenty’s delicious vegan dishes, local guests, and a chance for our shelter pups to soak up the attention they deserve!

Volunteer Responsibilities:

Bring an approved shelter dog to the event

Walk and monitor your dog throughout the day

Engage with visitors, share your dog’s personality, and introduce them to potential adopters.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great food and great company while helping our shelter dogs find their forever homes.
